There are a lot of people go to yahoo to play chess online everyday. This is probably the most famous place about playing chess online. People in here are generally meaner and cruder than the other places. There also are more progs (players using programs to cheat) than the other places. It has an easy-to-use interface, but no tag correction.

There are almost as many people as yahoo, and less progs. There is also a tag correction, if you like that. The interface is very easy to use as well.

This website has the most features of any forum as well as the highest quality level of players and the lowest frequency of progs. It is a bit difficult to become familiar with the interface, and is somewhat difficult to use. However, this maybe is because of the greater number of fuatures it offers.
